The Power of a Multidisciplinary Team

Join the nation's leading experts from the Training Institute on Strangulation Prevention, a program of Alliance for HOPE International, for an unforgettable 3.5-day immersive training at High Peak Camp near Estes Park, Colorado. Through hands-on learning, real case analysis, and expert instruction, Hidden Homicides attendees will gain the skills needed to identify, investigate, and prosecute strangulation and suffocation homicides with confidence.

This course is designed to bring multidisciplinary teams together because the strongest investigations happen when law enforcement, prosecutors, forensic medical professionals, victim advocates, and other partners learn and collaborate side by side. Attending as a team strengthens communication, builds lasting partnerships, and equips communities to implement coordinated, victim-centered practices that lead to stronger cases, greater offender accountability, and better outcomes for survivors and their families. Gather your team and join us!

What Are Past Attendees Saying About Hidden Homicides?

“I can't say enough about the networking and ability to work with such a diverse group of professionals, both faculty and attendees. This was an amazing training class. A breath of fresh air from some of the other classes I have attended in the past! Thank you!”

“Everything about this course was great. The presentations by all were great. The venue (High Peak Camp) was great - in fact, this was one of the best setups for training that I've ever had - it worked really well for everyone to get familiar with each other and be comfortable to interact with the training material. Recognizing staged suicides that may be DV homicides will be much more at the forefront of my mind now.”

“The hands-on training in the scenes and being able to review and assist in real life cases was extremely impactful. The way it was structured with breakout sessions on trauma and other topics not necessarily directly connected to investigating a crime but is linked to the work being done was perfect. It really helped with memory retention. Getting to speak to the family was what really brought home the seriousness and reminder this isn't just practice it's a real person and a real family.”

“I enjoyed the group exercise when you had to conduct an interview of a victim while they were actively being told what to say. I also liked the crime scene re-creations, and the gunshot wound class. Dr. Smock's re-cap of cases and utilizing a manikin head with a belt was excellent.”

“Learning about the effectiveness of the death investigations and how the MDT can tackle those issues was huge for me. Applying those lessons to the case studies was a good application.”

“I really enjoyed the practical application of evaluating the crime scenes. The presentations provided by the leading experts in our country were top notch.”



“The crime scene recreation really helped put the case into a real-life experience and drove home what the investigations were going through initially.”
